Best Programming Font

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Best Programming Font

I switch my programming font every once in a while. I am currently using IDEal with Bitstream Vera Sans Mono and it makes coding a pleasure.

I switched from an old school font called OCR A Extended that I liked a lot. What do you guys use?

I also just switched from a 22" CRT to a 22" LCD monitor. Wow! What an increase!

What is your favorite coding font?

I prefer Lucida Console, I like my l's and I's better when they don't look EXACTLY the same.

Lucida Console is nice too. I opted not to use it though because it is still hard to tell an O from a zero (0). Bitstream Vera Sans Mono has a dot in the middle of the zeroes to make it easy to distinguish from an O.

These are all good programming fonts (not in any particular order of preference).

Blitz
Andale Mono
OCR A Extended
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
Proggy
Dina

Lucida Console
Envy Code R

Do you use anything different?

Consolas, or Courier New.

Courier normally does me.

At a certain font size the O and the 0 become distinct, not o mention color variances (if you IDE formats numbers.)

Nothing else ;)

I consider these ones a godsend:

I always end up using the font that comes with the Blitz IDE (Blitz.fon).

Blitz font here too. It HAS to be a fixed width font though.

Vera Sans Mono is also good though.

Lucida Console, but some IDEs don't support it very well.
